Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 385: The Appearance of the Spirit Key
"Senior, the location ahead is the headquarters of Fengxihui, the largest local chamber of commerce."

Wei Zhong looked at the huge building in front of him that took up the space of seven or eight ordinary bunk beds, and secretly praised the Feng Xi Club for its grandeur.

“More than 50% of the spiritual objects in the Nether Abyss were confiscated by the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

"The remaining 20% ​​will be obtained by the Fengxi Association, and the remaining 20% ​​will be divided up by local Hedao forces. The rest will be fought over by us independent cultivators and those from other spiritual realms..."

After hearing Fan Zhi's words, Wei Zhong couldn't help but doubt whether the Five Elements Immortal Sect could be so generous?
The great Mahayana Immortal Sect only occupies half of it?
"This is different from the spiritual world I had in my mind, where the strong prey on the weak."

Sure enough, Wei Zhong heard several mistakes in his words afterwards.

I knew that the other party was just hearing gossip from the market.

He quickly interrupted him from his boasting:
"I'll go take a look first. You wait here."

"Got it!"

Fan Zhi clenched his fist, bowed, and spread out his hand. He didn't know when a top-grade spirit stone appeared in his palm.

"Senior Lianxu is so generous. I only accompanied him for a few miles and yet I received such a generous reward."

Seeing that there were many people walking on the street, Fan Zhi quickly found a conspicuous position close to Feng Xihui, so that the senior could see him the first time he came out.

When Wei Zhong stepped into Fengxi Club, he quickly attracted the attention of the manager in the pavilion because of the Taoist robe he was wearing as a disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Sensing Wei Zhong's spiritual pressure, he was even more frightened.

'Where did Lianxu come from? His face is so unfamiliar. Could it be those two spirit boats?'

"Senior, what good things do you need? Please follow me upstairs."

Wei Zhong ignored the surprised looks of the cultivators around him and followed the Nascent Soul manager in front of him, stepping up the wooden stairs.

After going up only one level, the foreman in front will be replaced by a spirit of transformation.

One more level, and you will be at the stage of Lianxu.

When Wei Zhong revealed his identity, the Bone Refiner was shocked and kept bowing:

"It turns out that Elder Wu Se has arrived. I will send someone to inform Elder Liu right away."

"Elder?" Wei Zhong asked in confusion.

The Void Refining Monk in front of him immediately explained.

It turned out that Wei Zhong's Lingzhu industry was too important to Fengxi Club. Now Wei Zhong had the unilateral position of guest elder within this Hedao force.

Regardless of whether Wei Zhongcheng admits it or not, the entire Fengxi Society will respect Wei Zhongru as an elder.

I didn't expect Feng Xi would have such thoughts.

However, Wei Zhong did not believe the latter explanation.

'I'm afraid it has something to do with my identity as a seventh-rank alchemist.

'No matter what, it's a good thing after all. A higher status means greater convenience.'

"I don't know what kind of spiritual object Fellow Daoist Wu Se needs. With your authority, you can exchange any spiritual object of level six or below in our Feng Xi Club, no matter how rare or not."

As if seeing that Wei Zhong was not interested in the identity of this elder, the other party immediately changed his words and called him fellow Taoist.

Wei Zhong rubbed his chin:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I am a little troubled by your words. I am just passing by and want to see some of the specialties of Ge Ming Yuan."

"I see, it's easy to talk about!"

Zhao Yiheng suddenly realized something, and he searched in his storage bag and took out a jade slip:

"All the specialties of the Ge Ming Yuan are included in it, please feel free to check it out, fellow Daoist Wu Se."

Wei Zhong took the jade slip, probed with his spiritual sense, and immediately saw all kinds of strange and bizarre spiritual objects in it.

There are many exotic species of spiritual plants from the outside world, as well as unique spiritual creatures that can only be born in dark places like Gemingyuan.

Scanning the entire jade slip, Wei Zhong discovered a unique product on the last page:
"Inferi?"

When the spiritual consciousness penetrated deeply into these two words, it immediately saw a detailed explanation, which included text descriptions and specific images.

"It turns out to be the ghost soldiers guarding the Nether Abyss. And the transformed monk's body?"

"Why? Daoist Fellow Wu Se is also interested in this Yin corpse?"

Wei Zhong raised his head and couldn't help asking:
"In the records of this Yin corpse, the transformed cultivator's body, could it be..."

Zhao Yiheng nodded:
"Just as Fellow Daoist Wu Se thought, they were Daoists who accidentally fell into the Ge Ming Abyss while exploring."

"They're actually selling something like this? Didn't the forces to which the Dharma bodies originally belonged object to it?"

Zhao Yiheng shook his head and sneered:
"The immortal way is ruthless. It's just a slightly stronger corpse. What's there to object to?
"On the contrary, the more powerful the forces, the more they buy. Some of the buyers are even the Yin Corpse's original Taoist partners, masters and disciples.

“Buy it back and after a little refining it will become a powerful corpse.

"Those who practice the same method can even reach the so-called state of telepathy. Their combined combat power is infinitely stronger than that of the Dharma corpse refined by Xi Xin..."

Zhao Yiheng's remarks opened Wei Zhong's eyes.

"This is really..."

Wei Zhong didn't know what to say.

"If you are interested, my fellow Daoist Wu Se, I still have two sixth-level Yin corpses in my Feng Xi Club, dozens of fifth-level Yin corpses, and more than a hundred fourth-level Yin corpses...

“Combined with the formation diagram dug out from the Ge Ming Abyss, it can be combined into the Qianluo Yinxu formation.

"As long as it is placed on a sixth-tier spiritual vein, it can exert a defensive effect comparable to that of a seventh-tier spiritual vein..."

Following the other party's recommendation, Wei Zhong looked at the formation column and saw the introduction of the "Qianluo Yinxu Formation". After reading the entire content, he couldn't help but shook his head.

This formation has great restrictions, and there is even a risk that Yin energy will corrode the spiritual veins and confuse the minds of the cultivators within. This is inevitable for cultivators who practice the same method.

It was impossible for Wei Zhong to abandon his "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra" to practice this kind of Yin-related method.

Therefore, there is no need to exchange this formation.

There are so many good things inside the Five Elements Immortal Sect, why bother to covet this mere "Qianluo Yinxu Formation"?
"Forget it, I am not interested in this."

After saying that, Wei Zhong pointed to several sixth-level spiritual objects on the jade slip.

"Give me a few of these Soul Breathing Guardian Pills, the Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood, and..."

Wei Zhong had no shortage of spirit stones, so he started buying them in large quantities right away.

Zhao Yiheng was secretly shocked. For the first time, he realized how wealthy this Five-Color Elder was:

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, please wait a moment. I will have my subordinates bring it to you right away."

The other party sat with Wei Zhong for a while, and when he heard that Wei Zhong was interested in Ge Ming Yuan, he introduced the interior of this secret place to Wei Zhong in detail.

Wei Zhong listened with great interest, and suddenly heard a word:

“If Fellow Daoist Wu Se is really interested, we have a high-level exploration team within our Feng Xi Club.

"The team is led by a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Void, and there are several experienced fellow cultivators. Fellow Daoists of Five Colors can come along, and maybe we can find some good treasures in this Ge Ming Yuan."

Wei Zhong just smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

'I have even rejected the invitation from my fellow disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, so why should I agree to this Fengxi meeting?
"Wei Zhong can still tell who is stronger, He Dao or Lian Xu."

Someone happened to have collected all the spiritual objects and sent them to him. Wei Zhong took them and then refused with a smile:

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao. There is no need to explore.

"I am devoted to alchemy and don't have this kind of interest."

"I see!"

Taking the spiritual stone storage bag handed over by Wei Zhong, Zhao Yiheng counted it briefly and nodded slowly:
"The number of spirit stones is correct...

"Our elder Liu has already rushed here and promised to drink and chat with fellow Taoist Wu Se..."

"Then I will be waiting for you. You can all go on the high-altitude spirit boat to look for me!" After saying goodbye to Zhao Yiheng, Wei Zhong left the commercial building where Fengxi Club was located.

The man looked at Wei Zhong's leaving figure, holding the storage bag in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:

"A seventh-level alchemist is different. The items traded this time are almost equivalent to my entire fortune."

He shook his head slightly and quickly reported all the details of the transaction to the higher-ups.

After leaving the commercial building, Fan Zhi pushed aside the monks who were entangled with him and hurriedly went to meet Wei Zhong:
"I have finally waited for you, Senior. Are you satisfied with this trip?"

Knowing that the other party was asking for a reward, Wei Zhong waved his hand and threw out a medium-grade spirit stone, which made his colleagues behind him look envious.

"Satisfied, take me to see the business buildings of other Hedao forces."

"Okay!
"Senior, follow me!"

Pushing through the crowded crowd, the two continued along the street.

After a while, Wei Zhong walked out from the pavilion behind him and paid Fan Zhi the last spirit stone with satisfaction:
"Not bad. I'll just walk around and take a look. I don't need you to lead the way."

The latter's joy at having obtained the spirit stone turned into disappointment in an instant, but he still kept a smile on his face when he looked up:

"I wish you great success!"

The Mingyuan Market is very large, so large that it would take a cultivator a day to walk around it.

However, there are only a few streets and small shops where all kinds of casual cultivators live that are of value to a Void Refining cultivator like Wei Zhong.

No credibility, no reality.

It all depends on the random boasting of the monks setting up stalls and the vision of the monks who buy the goods.

There are very few monks who can find bargains in such places.

Wei Zhong has rarely been able to take advantage of such shops in his practice.

However, since he was already here, Wei Zhong decided to go and take a look.

Walking into the bustling alley, Wei Zhong kept inspecting the stalls.

We did see some valuable treasures, but the sellers asked for a very high price, far exceeding the value of the items being sold.

So after wandering around for a long time, I didn't gain anything.

Wei Zhong stopped only when he turned a small alley and came to another stall of casual practitioners.

It was not a discovery of treasure, but an encounter with an acquaintance.

"Yan Fengzhi?"

Wei Zhong walked slowly to the front of the stall and saw the latter's face.

"What do you need, Senior..."

The latter raised his head, his eyes were blank for a moment, and he quickly stood up and bowed:

"It's Senior Five Colors!"

Although he is in this Mingyuan market, he is very concerned about various information about Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

For hundreds of years, people have known about the glorious deeds of this Five Colors Senior, who joined the Five Elements Immortal Sect and refined a seventh-level elixir.

Seeing myself in such a miserable state, I felt extremely regretful.

"I never thought that Senior Wu Se also came to this Ge Ming Yuan. Junior..."

“Just passing by.”

Wei Zhong casually looked at the spiritual objects on the stall in front of him. They were all special products of the Nether Abyss, fifth level and below, not much different from the things sold by the surrounding cultivators.

"It seems that this person is not living well here. It would be better for him to join Tong Gongmo..."

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Zhong exchanged a few words with him and then walked to the next bunk.

After wandering around like this, I didn't collect any good things, but instead bought some junk.

Wei Zhong laughed at himself for not having the good luck that only the son of destiny had, so he flew away from Mingyuan Market and returned to Chiyang Boat.

The elders and fellow disciples who had rushed to the interior of Gemingyuan to break the formation a few days ago had not returned yet, so Wei Zhong simply returned to the training room to continue his practice.

Although Wei Zhong was just strolling around the Mingyuan Market, he had already caused a deep shock to the major forces below.

A dignified seventh-rank alchemist would cause a bigger sensation than those great masters who have achieved the state of Hedao.

Not only the Fengxi Society, but also other Hedao or Lianxu forces in the Mingyuan Market City held an emergency meeting of elders because of Wei Zhong's arrival.

Discussing how to contact this alchemist and gain benefits from him.

Even if it was just to spend spirit stones to become familiar to Wei Zhong, these people would not hesitate to do so.

As this trend surged, Yan Fengzhi closed his stall and rushed towards his residence.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Yan, it's not time to close the stall for today yet..."

Yan Fengzhi ignored it and left quickly.

In his mind, the spirit stones for renting a stall were nothing and were far less valuable than the information about the arrival of the "Five Colors".

Escape all the way and return to the cave located in the northwest corner of the Nether Abyss.

The token in his hand glowed, and the door to the cave opened instantly.

He quickly stepped inside, walked along the path in the mansion to the door of a training room, and gently rang the spiritual bell outside.

Then he stood outside waiting with an anxious look on his face.

Not long after, a male monk with an old face and a haggard figure walked out of the training room.

"Feng Zhi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yan Fengzhi immediately told the other party about his encounter with the "Five Colors" in the market.

The latter was moved after hearing this.

“Brother, why don’t you sell that thing to this person?

"It is possible that he can use his reputation to buy a healing treasure for Brother. If he continues to suffer such a serious injury..."

Bai Fangjian is the only one who has mastered the Void Refining Technique in Qingfeng Ridge.

Of course, with the destruction of Qingfeng Ridge, it is now the only one.

He is only about four thousand years old, which makes him a rare young cultivator among the cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness.

But now he looks older than old fellow Le Lin, as if he is about to step into a coffin.

All this can be attributed to the fight with others for the treasure in the Abyss that day.

That conflict not only resulted in the death of all the other cultivators sent by Qingfengling, but Bai Fangjian himself was also besieged by many people, and later his body was invaded by the dark death energy from the Netherworld Abyss.

He stayed here for a hundred years to recuperate, and learned that the headquarters of Qingfengling was besieged and destroyed by others, and he was unable to return to help due to his serious injuries. Such a tragic experience made him feel extremely painful and he felt ashamed of the sect's expectations.

If it weren't for the hatred that supported him, he would have died long ago.

"I have inquired about it. Although a thousand years have passed since the original agreement, Junior Brother Bai and Junior Sister Yuan are still living well in Shahe Sect.

“Thanks to Wu Se’s protection, the Liu family didn’t dare to cause trouble.

"At this moment, as long as we offer treasures..."

"Let me think about it."

The door of the training room closed, and Bai Fangjian took out a strange skull-shaped key from his arms.

The upper part is a skull, the lower part is like a spine, and it feels as cool as frost when held in the hand.

There is nothing magical about the key itself, but as a token of trust, its value lies in what it represents.
